It looks like feathers are missing and he gets in a fight with another drake but maybe I am wrong.
 
If he’s fighting then he maybe losing some feathers and a good molt will take care of his feathers unless he has already molted for this year? You can try separating him and the other drake. And offer some extra protein for the feathers small size dry cat food fish based.
 
Looks like molting, this is Fred my 14 week old drake. My others didn't look this bare. They molted slower. IMG_0582.jpg
 
Ok so maybe I shouldn't worry, but the bottom part has fuzzy feathers and looks like he had some pulled.

I had also read sometimes when they run around flapping their wings they sometimes damage some feathers.
